Hen very vocal.....

[Wil781]

I don't see anything 'abnormal' there.

Here is her poop today, I can't figure out the yellow stringy stuff

She is acting off again, staying to herself in the run and eating very little I gave them probiotics in separate waterer along with EL. She is acting off again today I really thought after yesterday she was feeling better she ate good yesterday, today I have seen her eat a little bit but she is drinking the probiotic and EL water. She don't come running when I walk out to her run.

That's not necessarily normal.
I would give nothing but plain water and feed.
The probiotics could be why her poop looks like that.
They've had a dose of the EL, should be good for a couple days at least.

I have only given her probiotics this morning this poop is from overnight.

The stringy stuff looks like the egg in egg drop soup.

The stringy stuff looks like the egg in egg drop soup.

I've seen this on occasion in the coop, and also from birds that were definitely ill and later died or were euthanized.
I'm not much for medicating, or diagnosing disease from droppings, so not sure what to tell you...sorry.
Maybe @casportpony or @Wyorp Rock or @WVduckchick
would have some more helpful advise.

Has she started laying? 21 weeks old, correct? (I read the whole thread rather quickly, so maybe I missed it, I'm sorry)
If she is laying, when was her last egg? Has she molted yet?

She is 6 months old and is probably going thru a juvenile molt, she has been laying for about 6 weeks, she didn't lay for 2 days and then yesterday she laid but laid in the run which is abnormal for any of them. I so don't want to loose her, I called my vet to see about a fecal float he said he would give some wormer for her but said they don't offer fecal floats for chickens. I have never seen any worms and hate to treat for worms without knowing they have them. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for your help aart!

As far as the first hen you posted about it sounds like to me she was "thinking" about going broody...but your second hen sounds like she may be I'll. If you have that resource I would stick with taking her to the vet although you have gotten some great advice here @casportpony can probably help you with the stools your wondering about it's not really my wheelhouse. Good luck With your sweet girl hun
